Therefore, we pay great attention to scholars who are researchers of Al-Farabi. In this context, we suggest that you promote research on Al-Farabi thinker in Iran and write articles. Also, joint scientific books will be published in the near future together with Iranian scientists. All these steps are designed to connect the universities of the two countries and promote cooperation in the spheres of culture, history and education. There is a chair of Iranian studies in KazNU. Currently, 11 Iranian students are studying," the rector said.
